F Award

International Award for Concerned Photography

The fourth edition of the F Award will be in 2012

The F Award aims to award photography that documents
and criticizes, that tells a story: dramas, struggles, abused rights,
but also dignity; pain and consolation, desperation and hope; the loss
of everything and the triumph of life’s new possibilities and lastly the
things that people do to face all of this. In a word, life.

The F Award aims to promote photography as a means of
transmitting information and creating awareness. Without photography
what would we know of hunger in the world, of the likely outcome of
every war, of the living conditions of “the other half” to quote the
work of one of concerned photography’s pioneers?

The winner of the F Award gets a contribution of euro 20.000 and the possibility of publishing a book.

A special section, F25, for photographers under 25 will see the winner
awarded with a one year scholarship in Fabrica’s photography area.

"They are concerned photographers. They take sides. They are people who wanted to show things that had to be corrected.. wanted to show things that had to be appreciated"
The Concerned Photographer, Editor Cornell Capa, Grossman 1972

The winning F project will receive a contribution of euro 20.000, the possibility of publishing a book and of having an exhibition of the selected work. The F25 winner (for photographers under 25), will be awarded a one year scholarship in Fabrica's Photography Department.

Blog editor

I set this blog up in 2007. I became curious about photo awards/honours, after winning a small prize myself, but could not find a substantial online resource. It was then that I decided to compile, curate and share information.
This blog is meant to inform; to show award winning/inspiring photo works and to share opportunities that generate publicity. This blog could also be used as a resource on emerging and notable photographers.
I hold a degree in photography but work as a webdesigner (WordPress-Thesis) and ICT-er.
